We were seated right away and most of us asked for water. Dishes were covered in water spots and cups had rings on them making them seem not really clean. The food was fine when it came but the crust was bland. They forgot our order so it took about 1 1/2 hours to get it. Waitress wasn’t too attentive obviously. I may go back for date night if I have time to burn and I’m not hungry.

Great experience here! The atmosphere is wonderful, the staff was awesome, and the pizza topped it all. We started with the cheese bread with marinara (and a side of pesto) – that marinara is absolutely epic. Then I had the forager while my husband got the meat pizza. Both pizzas were phenomenal. I wasn’t a huge fan of the chicken pieces (thought they were kind of bland), but the pizza overall was definitely worth getting again. The sausage on the meat pizza was both our favorites – any pizza with that sausage on it would be 110% awesome. We were just passing through town, but this was well worth the stop. I’m so glad Neopolitan style pizzas are trendy right now!

The meatball gigante and rustic cheese bread were outstanding. We will definitely be back. The marinara is exactly what I hoped it would be, service was prompt, food was hot and generously portioned.

Pizza here is awesome!! Drinks are great too. It’s a bit pricey but worth it. The only thing I saw out of place is what they were charging for a piece of TIRAMISU, $7.50. That’s totally over priced.

Had a really good time here on a Sunday afternoon, during happy hour. We tried cannolis first (dessert first why not?), wine and cocktails. The bloody mary and mimosa were great, and the craft cocktail was excellent – Gold Rush

I ordered a 10″ Godfather for take out. While I can’t comment on the sit-down experience, I was very pleased with my food. The thin crust was slightly crisp but still easy to eat. The sauce had great flavor and the pizza had the perfect amount on it. The toppings worked very well together and it tasted fresh and high quality. For it being ready to go in 20 min and tasting this great, I can overlook the higher price tag and look forward to my next visit.

The food is decent for Eau Claire. The service was fine except that the kitchen lost the ticket for our pizza. We were in no hurry, but it took forever to get our pizza. We were not offered a free drink, nor did they offer to reduce the price of the pizza. Apparently there wasn’t a manager present. A good manager would have noticed the couple sitting at the same table for an hour with no food. The young woman who waited on us was very nice. Doubt I will go back.

Good but expensive. This is not an $11 cheesy bread. We did not like the flavor of the pepperoni. Drinks were good. Service great

Don’t waste your time coming here. I am not blaming the waitress, because they were extremely understaffed and only had one server, but the whole thing was terrible. No one noticed we had come in for over twenty minutes. We had to ask the waitress to clear dirty dishes off a table so we could seat our entire party. It took forever to get waters and menus, the menus were a wrinkled piece of paper. It doesn’t cost that much to go to office max and laminate a piece of paper. We were there for over 90 minutes before we got any food. I could see the salad sitting on the counter for a long time before the waitress brought it and I almost got up to get it myself. They were not very busy so it shouldn’t have taken so long. The pizza was like a cracker. The toppings didn’t even go to the edge of the pizza. There wasn’t much cheese, and the toppings were scarce. We had to stop at Kwik Trip to get more food after because we were still hungry. Oh, and it is not okay to corner a customer and complain about the tip they gave you. The pizza was super overpriced and small. I mean come on, $23.75 for a 14 inch slice of cardboard? Just go buy some frozen pizzas if that’s what you want to eat. If you want cracker pizza and don’t like cheese then come to this restaurant. But you should probably call first and make sure they have more than one server working so you don’t have to wait all day.
